Spicewood Elementary

Tucked into the Texas Hill Country along Lake Travis, Spicewood Elementary draws families who've traded city life for scenic roads, cedar trees, and a tight-knit community feel — and the school reflects that same close-to-home spirit. Math scores in particular stand out, landing well above most Texas schools, and the overall academic profile makes it a solid choice for families settling into this fast-growing stretch of Burnet County. It's the kind of place where neighbors know each other, the commute to Austin is doable, and the school feels like a natural extension of the community rather than just a building kids pass through each day.
